I will reveal now so i dont get pms unnecessarily
Weg is going to produce or reproduce a gold foil poster
for 1980 over next 12 months or so. In time they will also go back and do 1974, 1973, 1969 and 1967.
So if we are patient over the next few years our collections of the gold foil posters are going to be complete. Could even do all the posters going back to 1920.
WEG died in 2008.
If you are referring to the Weg Art posters, those are done by one of his relatives.
I don't recognise those as true Weg posters personally. To my understanding WEGS real posters were being reproduced by that relative and sold against his wishes.
The true replacement now for the WEG posters is the Knight posters from the Herald Sun. I managed to get the black one from 2017 and the gold and black ones from this year and they look great.
I do have all the original weg posters (67, 69, 73, 74, 80) as well as our losing poster from 82 which obviously was never sold because we lost the GF. One day I will get them all framed, and in the 2017 and 2019 frames I'll have my GF ticket with them 
When I said Weg I did mean Weg Art. I know William Ellis Green passed away. His business is run by his Son in Law. In terms of the Weg Posters produced after he died, what you should know is that Weg drew posters for every team for after he died. So they are original Weg design Posters, The only thing that is super imposed is the date because obviously Weg didn't know when each team would win a flag. So the new WEG posters are original William Ellis Green posters and are recognised as such and there are enough posters going forward to last a lifetime.
The Knight posters are a new replacement done by the HS but they are 100% not WEG posters and will never be recognised as such. They cant even be considered as post WEG simply they are not WEG designs. At least the new WEGS are still original WEGS.
Yes that's right, the son in law runs the Weg Art business.
Weg Art is not WEG, and those posters that you see are not drawn by WEG. They are drawn by the son in law.
I met WEG and his business partner Geoff multiple times at their store when I was collecting the originals years ago. They ran a store out of Croydon for years until WEG died.
The son in law was running his own business during that time and they had ongoing issues with the son in law for using WEGs drawings and selling them while he was in business with the Herald Sun.
It is true that WEG started on a bank of posters for after he died, and I had the privilege of seeing some of them. Those posters being sold by Weg Art are not the banked posters that WEG drew. Not sure who has told you that but it's false. When WEG died the Sun's and Giants weren't around and you can see they feature on the Weg Art website... The son in law draws those himself along with all the new posters they sell.
What I do know is WEG eventually stopped drawing the 'banked' posters, and instead wanted Paul Harvey to take over from him after he died. Once he died, the Herald Sun went with Mark Knight instead of Harvey.
Harvey now does his own poster every year as well which you can look up if you like, some of them look quite good.
So the closest thing you can get to the original posters in my opinion is the ones with the Herald Sun logos and that see the proceeds go to the Good Friday Appeal. We will never have another WEG, but he did those posters for the newspaper and for the charity and that's what lives on with the current ones.
